Why choose business at QUT?

The QUT Business School is Australia’s first business school to attain triple accreditation by international accrediting agencies: the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) for EQUIS and the American Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for all our business courses, and the UK-based Association of MBAs (AMBA) for our MBA programs. Less than one per cent of all business schools worldwide have achieved triple accreditation and we are proud to be part of this elite group.

A quality-assured education Our triple international accreditation means you can be sure that your course and your lecturers are of the highest standard, and that your degree will be recognised internationally as being awarded by a quality school. To be accredited, our programs, staff and engagement with the business and academic communities, nationally and internationally, are regularly assessed and must meet rigorous international quality assurance processes.

QUT Business School is ranked in the top 100 in the business and economics subject category in the 2019 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

Prepare for your business careerQUT business graduates enjoy a high employment rate and diverse career opportunities in Australia and overseas. They are recognised by employers for their flexibility, real-world knowledge, contemporary business skills and professional know-how.

The QUT Business School maintains strong connections with the local, national and international business communities. Industry representatives advise us on the content of our programs, which ensures that you will develop the skills businesses want.

Because Australia is part of a global business community our degrees include internationally relevant material. Lecturers with international experience and students from more than 60 countries add a global perspective to your studies. Our students also travel abroad to study at our many international partner institutions, increasing their global employment opportunities.

You will gain business experience before you graduate through work integrated learning opportunities which integrate theory, knowledge and skills of a discipline with professional and contemporary practice. Our students engage with business professionals in many ways including internship programs, career preparation workshops and industry projects. Free co-curricular programs such as Business Advantage will further develop your business skills. Your degree will also include work-relevant information and case studies to ensure you have the knowledge and insight to be effective in your employment from day one. You will develop and refine your professional skills and practise working in interdisciplinary teams on a real-world project under the guidance of academic and industry mentors. See page 4 for more information.

Prepare for your career in businessWhen deciding where to study, I did a lot of research and I even called a few of my dream potential employers. They shared how QUT graduates were so prepared for the real world and had great practical skills. Once I had heard everybody’s feedback, I knew it had to be QUT.

Learning advisers are available in each study area to provide detailed advice on how to improve your assessments.

An incredible experienceI have been very lucky to have had the experiences I did through the QUT Business School. The international case competitions taught me to think quickly and provided opportunities to pitch real-world solutions to businesses of every type. I gained friendships with incredible people from around the world and at home.

Work integrated learningQUT business students learn by engaging with industry and community partners. Work integrated learning is part of every business course and involves authentic activities that allow you to apply and hone your growing business knowledge. These learning experiences combine coursework and assessment with practical application in real-world settings.

Work integrated learning is delivered in many ways including capstone experiences, placements and internships, and project-based units. All of these activities give you valuable opportunities to engage with industry and community partners, both individually and in teams.

Business capstone: Real World ReadyAll undergraduate business students complete the business capstone unit, Real World Ready. This unit enables you to develop your own professional identity and refine your transferable skills and personal strengths. You will work individually and within an interdisciplinary team on a work integrated learning project. Teams develop and pitch ideas and innovations to answer a challenge posed by an industry or community-based partner. You will implement and extend the knowledge and skills developed through your studies, collaborating with other students, and guided by academics and industry-based coaches. The Real World Ready unit was designed and is delivered by a team of academics, learning designers, students and alumni, along with leading employers and entrepreneurs. It will prepare you for the challenges of your future career, and the changing world of business.

PlacementsYou can gain practical experience while you study as part of an elective unit linked to a work integrated learning placement. This is usually offered as an internship relevant to your major. Through your placement you will apply the knowledge you have learnt and will gain a real-world context for your future studies. You will emerge as a reflective professional who is better prepared for the world of work on graduation.

ProjectsYou may be involved in a work integrated learning project in response to a current challenge or opportunity for an organisation. You will collaborate with other students from your study area and work with an industry or community partner, under the supervision of an academic team.

International experiencesYou can participate in a study tour as a work integrated learning experience and receive academic credit. With academic staff, teams of students have visited leading advertising, public relations and digital agencies in Hong Kong and Singapore. Others have visited Europe to see behind the scenes in marketing some of the world’s great brands.

Using digital tools to support collaboration and learning, some of our students have worked across a semester in virtual teams with students from University of Minnesota on an authentic case in human resources.

Network with professionalsThe internship I took as part of my course allowed me to network with industry professionals and gain an understanding of the work environment in my chosen field. This experience led to a full-time position once I graduated. In 2018 I was a recipient of the BBM Youth Support Award, which recognised my drive to continue to learn and develop in my chosen field.

I am now the Marketing Coordinator of RUD Chains Australia, using the skills developed throughout my studies and work experience to produce strategic, stakeholder-focused collateral.

Put your studies into practiceI became involved in QUT’s work integrated learning program through studying an experiential learning unit focused on innovation. As part of this experience I had the opportunity to intern at Deloitte Australia in their strategic consulting division. I expanded my professional network, interacted directly with clients and put my classroom learnings into practice. This proved invaluable for my personal development, and led me to a role with Deloitte after graduating.

Jessica Bohan

Take advantage of opportunitiesQUT provided invaluable support and flexible course options that allowed me to travel and work while studying. I completed internships in investment banking, consulting and private equity, and was able to live in the US while working on a start-up, all while still enrolled. QUT supported me in each of these opportunities, which in turn helped prepare me for my graduate position in a global investment bank.

You will also have the opportunity to participate in international conferences, events and competitions.

International double degreesGain a second bachelor degree from one of our select overseas partner institutions in addition to your QUT business degree. The Bachelor of Business—International program provides the option to complete two internationally recognised degrees in four years. For more details refer to page 16.

Benefits of international programsCommunicating in a new language

Most partner universities teach in English, however you could use this opportunity to learn a new language or improve your high school foreign language skills by practising it with native speakers while overseas.

You may like to prepare for your exchange and communications in your host country by incorporating language studies into your degree, as a second major, minor or electives. Plus, you will enhance your international career options. For more information about studying a language refer to pages 18–20.

Make your CV stand out

Participating in an overseas study program requires initiative, commitment and flexibility. These are all qualities that employers value highly, so the skills you develop while overseas can give you an edge in the job market.

The time of your life

These experiences will give you stories and memories for a lifetime. But don’t just take our word for it. Check out what current and previous exchange students have to say about their overseas adventures at blogs.qut.edu.au/qut-exchange-students

A range of international opportunitiesI studied at Trinity College Dublin for six months and on the way home took part in a short-term study program in Mumbai as credit for a Development Economics subject. The program offered a truly immersive experience in India and the opportunity to develop strategy to address socioeconomic issues. It took theory beyond the classroom and gave us the opportunity to work with industry and non-profit representatives.

Gain confidenceI wanted to leave my comfort zone and challenge myself by living in a different country. Vienna is an incredibly interesting place—there was always something to explore. I had to develop my German language skills and be flexible in my approach to problem solving. This experience taught me to be more self-assured and independent, traits an employer would look on favourably.

Skills for your career The Business Advantage Program gave me the opportunity to hone my skills so that when it came to interview time I felt well prepared. I now work as a management consultant for Nous Group and they are currently training consultants using the same framework I learnt about at QUT, which makes you think how far ahead of the curve Business Advantage was at the time.

Create business connectionsQUT provided me with the perfect platform to become an entrepreneur. Throughout my degree I had opportunities to network and build my connections. I made sure that I attended events organised by all the business societies when possible. Simple things like attending QUT Accountancy Students’ Association (QUTASA) events meant that I knew the people within the society, and had a network of contacts when I started my business.

The Dean’s Honours Program is a study program for high-achieving students, offering you financial support to complete both your Bachelor of Business degree and honours.

Why do honours?An honours degree signals to potential employers that you are someone with exceptional ability, motivation and commitment to your field. It gives you the chance to further integrate the practical and conceptual knowledge gained through your degree.

As an honours graduate, you can clearly demonstrate an ability to undertake rigorous independent research. Development of these skills will differentiate you from your peers in the employment market. You may even discover your potential for research work and consider the opportunity to pursue an academic career through PhD studies. A good result in your honours program provides you with direct entry into our PhD program.

Dean’s Honours scholars must maintain a grade point average of 5.5 on QUT's 7-point scale throughout their studies to retain the scholarship.

Is the honours program still available if I’m not accepted into the Dean’s Honours Program?

Stand out from the crowdThe honours year added a distinguishing aspect to my résumé and a keen point of interest for potential employers. The program afforded me a balance between academic commitments and extracurricular activities, including opportunities to compete in business case competitions, and complete internships in both Australia and Japan. The critical thinking skills developed through the honours year helped me in my role as a consultant at Bain & Company.

Expand your opportunitiesI have always been passionate about law, media and politics, so a double degree in law and business was a no-brainer. The practical training at QUT prepared me for the challenges of my career. After graduating I moved to Qatar to work on one of the world’s largest road infrastructure programs. I’m now in Melbourne developing community and stakeholder engagement strategy for a major infrastructure project.

Combine specialist knowledgeI chose a double degree in biomedical science and business because I can see a gap in the market for professionals who understand biotechnology products and know how to bring the products to market. I am currently completing a work integrated learning subject with Deloitte. I’ve worked with Deloitte employees to create an innovative business and it’s been a great way to learn how to think strategically in a real-world setting.

Increase your employabilityI chose QUT because it was one of the few universities that had the double degree I wanted to study—public relations and creative and professional writing. I completed an internship for the Australian Publishers Association at Wombat Books, which gave me real, hands-on experience in the publishing industry. I believe business and creative industries both provided me with the real-world experience and the knowledge to pursue this career choice of mine.

Entering QUT in 2021 or beyond?There are some changes to subjects and the qualifications we'll consider for entry. Visit qut.edu.au/study/starting-uni-in-2021

How do I apply?1. Find the course that

suits youCheck out the courses you are interested in studying, or take the Match My Skills quiz to find courses to suit your interests at qut.edu.au/study

Experience QUT first-hand by studying units while you are in high school with the START QUT program. Visit qut.edu.au/startqut

2. Check the entry requirements

For admission to QUT you must have completed Australian Year 12 (or equivalent), or be aged 18 years or older and be applying on the basis of previous study or work/life experience.

How selection is madeFor most QUT courses you will be selected on the basis of an OP or selection rank. Exceptions may apply to some courses with additional entry requirements.

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) will replace the OP for Queensland students who graduate from high school in 2020. Visit qtac.edu.au/atar-my-path/atar

Course thresholds used in this publication indicate the lowest OP/selection rank/ATAR to which an offer was made inclusive of any adjustment factors in the 16 January 2019 offer round. Thresholds can change from year to year and should be used as a guide only. Some courses have additional entry requirements. For more information see the online course information at qut.edu.au/study

Assumed knowledgeFor most courses, QUT has an assumed knowledge scheme. This means that we don’t use specific school subjects as entry criteria for our courses, however when you study with us you may struggle with your studies if you don’t have this knowledge. If you do not have the assumed knowledge we strongly recommend completing a bridging course through QUT or other recognised providers. For more information visit qut.edu.au/assumed-knowledge

If you are in Year 11 or below, you will study different subjects to those listed in this publication. Equivalent subjects are shown below.

Current Queensland Year 12 subjects

Queensland subjects for entry from 2021 onwards

English English, or Literature, or English and Literature, or English as an Additional Language (Units 3 & 4, C)

Maths B Mathematical Methods (Units 3 & 4, C)

Maths C Specialist Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C)

Maths A, B or C General Mathematics, or Mathematical Methods, or Specialist Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C)

Biology Biology (Units 3 & 4, C)

Chemistry Chemistry (Units 3 & 4, C)

Physics Physics (Units 3 & 4, C)

Science One of Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Marine Science, Physics, Psychology (Units 3 & 4, C)

English language proficiencyYou must demonstrate that you can speak, write, read and comprehend academic English to a specific standard. If you have an Australian Year 12 qualification, you meet the English proficiency standards. If your first language is not English and you have not previously undertaken either senior schooling, higher study or significant professional work experience in the English language as recognised by QUT, you must demonstrate your English language proficiency.

OP and IB guaranteeIf you receive an OP 1–5, equivalent ATAR, selection rank of 93 or better, or have a completed International Baccalaureate Diploma with a score of 33 or better, you are guaranteed an offer in a QUT participating course. This means that when you find out your OP or selection rank you can assess your eligibility for a QUT course before receiving an offer. You still need to lodge a QTAC application by the closing date.

3. Investigate the admission pathways

Your backgroundYou may have different admission pathways depending on your background, such as Year 12, vocational education and training (VET), higher education study or

work experience. Selection ranks can be assigned to each of your qualifications and experience. QUT will generally use the best of your OP/selection ranks for entry. For more information visit qut.edu.au/study/admission-pathways

Overseas qualificationsQUT will consider equivalent recognised overseas qualifications for admission purposes. If you have secondary or tertiary qualifications from countries where English (as recognised by QUT) is not the standard language of instruction, you must provide evidence of English language proficiency. For more information contact QTAC—qtac.edu.au

4. Consider selection rank adjustments

You may be eligible for selection rank adjustments, making you more competitive for a course offer. The maximum possible adjustment is 10 selection ranks (equivalent to five OPs) across all schemes. Adjustments may not apply to all courses. For more information visit qut.edu.au/apply/adjustment-schemes

Equity adjustment—educational disadvantageIf you have been disadvantaged in your education, a selection rank adjustment and a scholarship may be awarded through the Educational Access Scheme

(EAS). Apply for EAS on your QTAC application. If you are successful when applying for the financial hardship category and enrol to study at QUT, you will receive a guaranteed $3500 QUT Equity Scholarship.

Elite athlete adjustmentIf you are an elite athlete, we encourage you to apply for the QUT elite athlete entry scheme via QTAC. You may receive an adjustment of up to six selection ranks (equivalent to three OPs). Support with managing your studies and scholarships may also be available.

Subject adjustment— Year 12 subject schemeQUT offers selection rank adjustments for successfully passing certain school subjects, or completing a university subject while at school (e.g. START QUT), for 2019 Year 12 students applying for entry in 2020.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peopleThe Oodgeroo Unit’s Centralised Assessment Selection Program is an entry program that assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants by recognising life experiences, any study undertaken, skills, commitment and potential. If you have identified via QTAC

as an Indigenous Australian and list QUT in your top three preferences, the Oodgeroo Unit will contact you. Financial and study support is also available. Visit qut.edu.au/about/oodgeroo

5. Check the costsIf you are a domestic undergraduate student you will study in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) and your fees will be partly funded by the government, with you paying the balance of the course cost. The actual student contribution

depends on the number of units studied and the band for each unit, and can vary from semester to semester. For more information check the course details at qut.edu.au/study

2019 student contribution bands for Commonwealth supported students

Band Estimated cost (two semesters)

Band 1Education, nursing, visual and performing arts, behavioural science, social studies, foreign languages

$6 566

Band 2Computing, built environment, health, engineering, mathematics, statistics, science, surveying

$9 359

Band 3Accounting, administration, economics, commerce, law

$10 958

If you meet the citizenship and residency requirements, you can defer payment of your student contribution with a government HECS-HELP loan.

6. Make your application count

Applications for QUT undergraduate courses are made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) online service. For advice about how to apply and ordering your preferences visit qtac.edu.au

International students completing Year 12 studies in Australia must apply through QTAC. All other international students must apply directly to QUT or through one of our authorised agents or representatives. For details visit qut.edu.au/international or phone (Australia Freecall) 1800 181 848.

Concerned you won’t get in? If you don’t think you will receive the OP or selection rank to gain entry into your preferred course you can undertake further study to receive a new selection rank. Your options include completing one year of degree-level study full time, completing a diploma or advanced diploma, or a TAFE/QUT dual award. For example, students who complete the 12-month TAFE Diploma of Business can apply for the Bachelor of Business at QUT and may receive one year of advanced standing, completing the bachelor degree in two years instead of three.

Make sure you consider these options when completing your QTAC application. For more information visit qut.edu.au/upgrading

7. Accept your offerYou will be notified by QTAC if you receive an offer. Once you have accepted your QTAC offer, you can enrol online at QUT. Visit qut.edu.au/apply/what-happens-next

If you are a domestic applicant you can defer the start of your study for one year, except in courses using specific admission requirements such as portfolio, audition, prior study or work experience, or where course changes do not permit deferment. In special circumstances, QUT may grant a further deferment of up to 12 months. Visit qut.edu.au/deferment

You can apply for advanced standing (credit) after you have accepted your QTAC offer. Students who have completed an International Baccalaureate Diploma may also receive advanced standing for some units. Visit qut.edu.au/credit

Confident startI really enjoyed START QUT and it reinforced that QUT was 100 per cent for me. I loved the atmosphere and meeting people who shared my passions. When starting uni, I was more prepared and confident with a good understanding of what was expected for assessment and what the lectures and tutorials looked like. It gave me a great head start and I felt like I belonged.

Amazing experiencesI always liked technology at school and marketing seemed fascinating. They’re also a killer combination.

I applied directly to Startup Catalyst, a program that takes young, tech-savvy entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley. I found out after I was successful in gaining a place that my spot was funded by the QUT Business School.

We spent two weeks on a whirlwind tour of Silicon Valley, visiting high-growth start-ups and huge companies like Facebook and Google. There’s such a high concentration of smart people and big ideas over there—getting to meet and learn from them was amazing.
